I'm an apostate Dem who last voted for the party when Bill ("the end of the era of big government) Clinton was a blue dog Dem.
When Obama came along I foresaw that the party was going down a path favored by radical 1960's academics but he cleverly concealed this with empty platitudes.
Mamdani hides very little.
So is the country ready for this lurch into seizing the means of production or are we fundamentally capitalists?
